I am looking for decendants of the following family:
In the 1860 Census Leesville, Lexington County, SC
John W. Lee age 47 born in SC
Mary E. Lee age 48 born in SC
Joseph E. Lee age 24
Mary E. Lee age 22
E. G. Lee age 2
Joseph and Mary are husbnad and wife and E. G. is Eugene Goodwyn Lee. Joseph was killed in the Civil War but not before he and Mary had another son, Joseph Epps Lee.
Joseph Epps Lee became and physician and had the following children:
Francis Goodwyn Lee born June 1891
Joseph Epps Lee born Sept. 1893
Mary G. Lee born about 1904
Joseph's(born about 1836) wife Mary E. was called Bettie. She remained a widow until she married S.L. Ready in 1896 and lived in Johnston, Edgefield County, SC as late as 1900.
I am not related to this group, but happened on a bunch of papers at an junk place and a letter written by Bettie Ready to a cousin in Clarke County, Alabama named Richardson was in the box. A lot of the info about the family was in the letter including that Bettie's father died July 1, 1892(no name given). Would love to get this letter back to its family.
Any help appreciated.
